Private Grand Cru Classé & Cooking Class Experience at Château Ferrière from Bordeaux
Enjoy a unique Grand Cru Classé wine and cooking experience at Château Ferrière in the Margaux appellation, created exclusively for Ophorus guests. This private Bordeaux wine tour combines vineyard discovery, high‑level wine tasting and a hands‑on cooking class with a chef for an immersive, gourmet day.
Your English‑speaking wine expert driver/guide meets you in Bordeaux and drives you along the scenic Médoc route to Château Ferrière, a historic Grand Cru Classé estate. On arrival, you are welcomed personally by Claire Villars Lurton, owner of the château and awarded Vigneronne (Winemaker) of the Year 2024.
You begin with a privileged tour of the property and vineyards, guided by Claire herself. She shares her vision, commitment and the history of Château Ferrière, explaining how the Margaux terroir shapes the elegant, refined style of the estate’s wines.
The visit continues with a guided tasting of Château Ferrière wines, offering a unique insight into their identity and expression through the eyes of the person who makes them. You explore structure, aromas and ageing potential, with plenty of time to ask questions and deepen your understanding of Margaux Grand Cru Classé wines.
Your experience culminates in a private cooking class led by a chef. Moving from tasting to creation, you prepare dishes that highlight the wines you have just discovered, exploring food and wine pairings in a relaxed, intimate setting. You then sit down to enjoy the meal you have created together, accompanied by carefully selected Château Ferrière wines.
This high‑end, fully private experience at Château Ferrière is available only through Ophorus and is ideal for wine‑loving foodies, couples and small groups looking for something far more interactive than a classic tasting.
